Maybe Japan could just, you know, erect public trash cans like so many other countries.

Some people think the cost savings of installation, maintenance, and salaries are the reason they''ve not returned

We don’t have bins in lots of train stations here for similar reasons. Doesn’t mean people are shitting on the fucking ground to make up for it.

I was amazed there weren’t public trash receptacles when I was there (I was only there for a couple days though, maybe I just missed it).

You didn’t. Japan doesn’t have public trash cans.

I was pretty confused about what to do at one point. I bought a water from a 7/11 while walking around in Tokyo and didn’t know what to do until an old lady it a subway market (also kind of wild) took it, washed it, and put it in her backpack when I gestured for the trash.

I always had a backpack with me so I kept trash in that and put it in hotel bin when I went back to hotel.

Which part of littering wouldn’t be solved by trash cans?
